Field Detail

uPatchCount

public IntegerParam uPatchCount

The U resolution, that is, the number of patches in the u direction. By convention, the number of points along the u-direction of the surface is 1 plus 6 times the value of uPatchCount, since there are 6 "subpatches" along each side of a patch. (However, the number of subpatches per patch is actually selected by a subclass when it creates the data for the surface.)

vPatchCount

public IntegerParam vPatchCount

The U resolution, that is, the number of patches in the u direction. By convention, the number of points along the u-direction of the surface is 1 plus 6 times the value of vPatchCount.

Constructor Detail

Surface

public Surface()

Adds uPatchCount and vPatchCount as parameters of the surface, each with a range of possible input values from 1 to 40. Also calls Exhibit.setFramesForMorphing(int) to set the number of frames for morphing to 12 and calls Exhibit.setUseFilmstripForMorphing(boolean) to turn on the use of filmstrips for the morphing animation.

Method Detail

getDefaultOrientation

public int getDefaultOrientation()

Returns the default orientation setting for this surface. This property determines which side of the surface, if any, is front-facing.

See Also:

setDefaultOrientation(int)

setDefaultOrientation

public void setDefaultOrientation(int defaultOrientation)

Set the default orientation setting for this surface. This property determines which side of the surface, if any, is front-facing. The possible settings are: View3DLit.NORMAL_ORIENTATION, View3DLit.REVERSE_ORIENTATION, and View3DLit.NO_ORIENTATION. Other values of the parameter are ignored. If it is not changed by calling this method, the default orientation is View3DLit.NORMAL_ORIENTATION.

Note that the default orientation is used only when a View is created by the getDefaultView() method.

See Also:

View3DLit.setOrientation(int)

getDefaultView

public View getDefaultView()

Returns a default view of this exhibit, a View of type SurfaceView. (Note: If a Surface is displayed in a plain View3D, it will always appear as a wireframe.)

Overrides:

getDefaultView in class Exhibit3D

getGrid3D

public Grid3D getGrid3D()

Returns grid 3D.

getBuildAnimation

public Animation getBuildAnimation(View view)

Returns a surface build animation, which shows patches being drawn bit-by-bit in back to front order.

Overrides:

getBuildAnimation in class Exhibit

Parameters:

view - The view into which the build animation will be installed.

Returns:

The return value in this top-level Exhibit class is null.
